Elevator shutdown concerns council By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen Huron County Council has expressed its concern over a developing situation at the Goderich Elevator and Transit Company, which is situated near Lake Huron. Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh Reeve Ben Van Diepenbeek brought the issue to council's attention at its April 5 meeting. He told council that dust at the elevator was becoming a larger issue than in the past. Van Diepenbeek said he had been contacted by some local farmers who had attempted to load their corn into the mill in Goderich, but were turned away because the terminal had been shut down due to dust concerns. The ability to unload a corn crop at the Goderich elevator meant costs of 15 cents per bushel, while after being turned away and being forced to truck the crop to Hamilton, the cost had more than doubled to 35 cents per bushel. As a result of the temporary closure of the location, Van Diepenbeek said, docking of two ships into the Goderich harbour had been cancelled. Goderich Mayor Kevin Morrison said he had been made aware of the situation and that the Ministry of the Environment had been contacted as a result of dust complaints. He said the business had been spending plenty on dust control equipment, but was looking to increase its dust control measures to ensure a good relationship with the business's neighbours, but said he would follow up and report Book Your Ad Now for the 2017 IPM Issue Distributed to all homes in Huron County and western Perth County (through Canada Post) plus all campers staying at the Match RV site, with copies available for match goers to pick up - 35,000 copies in total Call The Citizen 519-523-4792 or contact sales representatives Brenda Nyveld & Heather Fraser e-mail: ads@northhuron.on.ca back to council at a future meeting. Goderich Deputy -Mayor Jim Donnelly said that he lives in the area of the town that would be considered affected by dust at the elevator and he had always thought of it as a "nuisance" but nothing more. "I regard this as a very serious matter," Donnelly said. Van Diepenbeek said he had been aware that if the dust or wind had been too bad, the elevator would shut down in order to ensure a good relationship with its neighbours. The vast majority of the problems, he said, had to do with wind speed and direction. If the wind was blowing into town, complaints would be made. However, if the wind was blowing out to the lake, it had never been much of a problem. Huron East Deputy -Mayor Joe Steffler asked if this was a case of a "new kid on the block" complaining about an existing business or if dust at the elevator had gotten worse in recent years. Van Diepenbeek said he didn't know, but that the terminal being closed down and the involvement of the Ministry of the Environment were definitely something with which council should be concerned. Morrison said he would further investigate the matter at the Goderich Council level and report back to Huron County Council. BRUSSELS LIVESTOCK Division of Gamble & Rogers Ltd.
